THE IIAM'ILLK INVESTIOATIOX.t WASHINOTON , February 21. The first witness in the Danville investigation to day was J. D. Bhckwoll ( white ) , judge of the corporation court of Danvtllo. Ho testified to the circumstances loading to the riot , and said the whites formed in line and fired a volley at the negroes. The discharge ivas like that of well- chilled soldiers. Witness was surprised when the smoke cleared away to see that no oxecutionlmd been done. Ho did not issue warrants for the arrest of the rioters. Senator Sherman handed the witness a copy of the Danville circular , and asked if its statements were true. Witness re plied that some were , but in his opinion the great majority were false. The ne groes wore in a largo majority in every , ward in Danville. There never had been a time when they could not have elected a negro to fill every position in the town council. As tt matter of fact , the whites had always had a niajority in the council , and power to remedy the evil complained of in the circular. It was in the power of any man who signed the circular to learn that certain of its state ments were false. Witness did not ac cuse all the signers of intentional false hood ; men had been so blinded by pas sion as to bo unable to jud o impartially. Witness is a native of Virginia , and served for four years in the confederate army , % ( > STHUCIGU ! toil A CONVENTION. The executive committee of the demo cratic national convention mot to-nicht and transacted routine business. The report of the sub committee oppointed to audit th'o.accounts of the committee woa received , showing a balance of $1,000 in the treasury. Delegates from cities de sirous'of securing the national convention are hard at worK. The Chicago delega tion Bcoms to be making the greatest dis play , and its rooms are constantly filled. The delegation appears to have a largo fund to draw on , and entertains lavishly. The Cincinnati men hove not given up the fight , but are not hopeful. St. Louis is Chicago's principal competitor , but within the past 24 hours Saratoga has loomed up as a strong rival , and may carry off the prize should the fight be tween Chicago and St. Louis grow so fierce as to prevent a selection of either place. Later information has been obtained from members of the committee to-night , and the best opinion is that Chicago will have about 10 votes on the first ballot , and St. Louis 12. There are 4 or C votes for Saratoga , which , on the second bal lot , it seems at this writing , are most likely to go to Chicago. Twenty votes are necessary to a choice. As to the time , the moat of the committee seem to favor fixing three or four weeks after the republican convention. A meeting of democratic territorial delegates in con gress , and prominent democrats from the territories , was hold to-night , and reso lutions were adopted urging the national committee to take some action looking to the admission to the national convention of ruprcsentitives from the territories and giving them votes. THE MIE8ENTATION OK TUB ALEUT. The report of Secretory Frolinghuysen accompanying the president's message in regard to the presentation of the steamer Alert to the United States by Great Britain , says that in the search for a steamer for the proposed Greely relief expedition , attention was early called to the Alert as peculiarly fitted for this ser vice , and that a private intimation was conveyed to Minister Lowell that the British government had not forgotten the considerate action of the United States in the matter of the Arctic steamer Reso lute , and that if the Alert would be of any use , she would bo presented to this government. The suggestion that she would bo of use was made , and the vessel accordingly given to the United States unconditionally. This was duly acknowl edged with thanks by the president on behalf of the people of the UnitodStatos. The facts in regard to the Resolute are that she belonged to the British govern ment , and was abandoned in the Arctic seaa , but'was discovered and brought to the United States by American soamnn , was fitted up by this government , and re turned to Great Britain , the American officers who took her there being re ceived by the queen and treated with marked official and personal courtesy.

THE HOC IN IT. Minister Sargent Hatefl For Telling the Trntli , Bismarck's ' Organs Yelling For His Recall , And Trying to Turn Attention From tlio Insult By a Great Olarnor About Diplo matic Oourtosyi Piiorllo Clim-RCN Against tlio Unltcu Klutcs Tlin UlSHtYltCKIAN 1XSUI/T. UKRMAN I'llKSS COMMENT. Br.UM.v , February 21. The North Gcr- miin ( Jaxotto , ( Bismarck's organ ) ropolt. the attncko of the opposition newspapcis on the decree of Bismarck relative to the Lasker resolutions. It saya they do not express the slightest indignation at the attempt of a foreign body to interim u in the internal affairs of Germany , The request addressed Binnarck by Minister Sargent was of such remarkable- character that it could only bo explained by his ignorance of diplomatic usaco. It amounted to nothing lorn than asking the oniporor to endorse the veto of a foreign body and hand it vised to the Uoichstag , for Bismarck's duty is simply to oxoculo the commands of the emperor. Bismark is not in the employ of the international democracy by the German emperor , in same way that tlio American congress had attempted to cause tlio glorification of the late loader of the eocctaionista by the emperor , so could any foreign progressist body , seek to ( jio a vote of confidence in 11 err Richter , or a socialist body a similar vote in Herr Bobot. The National Gazette says : Bismarck's decree is deprived of all sting for congress and the American people , because the whole affair is made entirely a 'matter of Gorman internal policy. The Berliner Tageblatt says : The resolution of the American congress , which Bismarck is unwilling to impart to the reichstag WOH long ugo com eyed to the whole nation through the press. In deed the publication of the resolution in the "Official Garotte" nho\\s Bismarck himsoU arranged to give tlio German people what ho refused to transmit to the roiahstag , namely a demonstration of respect to Herr Laskor by the people upon the other side of the ocean. BBHLIN , February 21. The Doutsches Tagesblatt yesterday contained a eavago attack on Minister Sargent. The North Gorman Gazette , in alluding to the remarks of The National Gazette about the American contrjbitions ) to the relief funds for tlio sufferers from the Rhino inundations , says : "Wo should like to call attention to tlio fact that the debt of gratitude contracted then towards America may be logically paid by raising funds in Germany to help relieve the sufl'erera from the present flobds in America. " The National Ga/etto opposes the com ments of The North Gorman Gazette upon Laskor and says : "That the courtesy of a foreign legisla tive body could bo regarded as an act of interference and like to provoke ill feeling could bo the opinion only of a people who cannot hoar p , word of pn\iso addressed to a political'adversary. " Fur ther , regarding the assertion of the North Gorman Gazette , concerning the igno rance of diplomatic usages displayed'by Minister Sargant , in his .note to Bismarck transmitting the Laskor resolution , The rational Gazette says : "Thoro la no oubt that the same assertion would have been made if the resolution of the louse of representatives had been sent > y Minister Sargent dirsct to the presi- ent of the roichstag. Wo do not inol iclincd to take Minister Snrgont's part ut it is to bo regretted that an element f personal ill feeling BliouM _ bo apparent the treatment of this question. Semi-official newspapers openly do- inand the recall of Minister Sargent. The unich Xeitung charges Sargent with aving a schema to influence the next lections in America by his diplomatic onduct at Berlin. It is thought certain hat an interpellation wiil bo made in the oichstag , regarding the Lasker affair. V Berlin correspondent of The Times iays : It is clear that Minister Sargent las not boon forgiven , for informing the iVoshingtou government that the ixcluslon of American poik from Ger many was an agrarian aud not a sanitary measure. ay oouium HE TIUNKH o.
